Oct 20 Mid-Century Modern Open House Listings: 90049, 90077, 90210 and 90272

1049 Glenhaven Drive, Pacific Palisades - 1960 - $3,795,000

There are 27 single-family mid-century modern open house listings for
October 20 in the zip code areas of 90049, 90077, 90210 and
90272 including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Beverly Glen,
Brentwood,
Pacific Palisades and Westwood Hills. There are 3 new listings
this week open for viewing.

Two new listings pique my interest. The first is the ultra-polished 3 bedroom and 2.5 bathroom mid-century built in 1960. Within the 3,097 square foot, light, bright and beautiful interiors, this home features resin flooring, interior planter, rock walls, clerestory windows, open floor plan, and a electric car charger in the garage. The exterior rests on a 12,581 square foot lot with a pool and spa. The home, located at 1049 Glenhaven Dr in the Palisades, has views of the Queen's Necklace. The home is being offered for $3,795,000.

The second listing of interest is a project for folks looking to restore or remodel a classic mid-century by architect Jerome Pycha, Jr. in 1960. The 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom modern is in need of some #MCM911 love. There is an original wall clock still intact, which gives me hope there are more treasures featured inside. The MLS photos are scarce, so there is not much to see online. I suggest dropping by tomorrow to check it out. You could be surprised. The home is being offered for $1,995,000 and located in Brentwood, above Montana at 11770 Chenault St.

The weather forecast is calling for sunny skies with temperatures in the upper 70s. Sunset is at 6:12pm.
